When i was a boy my mother told me that when she was a young girl she used to go to play by the river and see dead Japanese soldiers bodies float on the river

She didnt go to school as girls were often raped so her parents my grandparents did not allow her to go, this has left her il literate all her life

so whilst playing by the river one day, she sees a japenese soldier with a chinese baby and tells her look we hate the chinese but not you malaysians/indonesians then next minute he throws the chinese baby in the air and made it land on his dagger

she said she never forgot witnessing that unfortunate event

They had a small farm and she had a pet monkey and she had a pet chicken too which was taken by Japanese soldiers when they came round looting

But felt glad that the soldiers never found the family savings which was in thousands of Japanese occuppying currency under the floor boards in their tradition village house then one day they hear on the radio that all japanese currency is void and thus making their family savings worthless paper
